Wainwright Outliers completed in April 2016

This fortnight in April more than made up for the previous two visits to the Lake District. The weather was very good and so was the walking. Back home to recover now! Here are the walks.

Lakes in March 2015

Here are my first walks in the Lakes this year. I'm enjoying the geriatric Wainwrights because they are out of the way and involve even more water!

Now that is what I call a walk!

On Monday, we returned to the Langdale Valley and walked up Rossett Pike, Esk Pike, Bow Fell and Crinkle Crags. The best thing was that we found loads of tarns to bag. Sometimes, Daddy found them before I did, but not often! The worst thing was the 'bad step' which I opted out of.

Lake District 11 May

This was the best day of the lot. We wanted to climb Lingmell as promised for the Wainwright Society, but the weather was so good, we climbed Great End and Scafell Pike as well.

Today was windy and we decided not to climb high. Even so, the wind was very strong.

Lake District November Day 6

On day 6, we were down to 3 humans and the clouds were down, so we did a local walk to Brockbarrow and Top O'Selside on the east side of Coniston Water. This is known as a geriatric Wainwright (like Beacon Fell), but there was plenty of scope to explore.

Lake District November Day 5

This day there were fewer of us, but it was the best day weather-wise. Daddy wanted to find the Priest's Hole (his GPS read NY 37583 10978) on Dove Crag and we found it! We came back over Little Hart Crag and High Hartsop Dodd, and I had a paddle in Brotherswater at the end.
